Chrono Trigger is Coming to Android/iOS

RPG fans rejoice, for one of the greatest of all time is coming directly to your smartphone.

Chrono Trigger is one of those games that has a near-perfect legacy. Simply mention the title to any gamer that lived through the Super Nintendo phase of the industry and you’ll see wistful look come over them, as they think fondly on their hours spent traveling through time and battling ridiculous foes.

If you haven’t revisited Chrono Trigger in a while, you’ll have the opportunity very soon. And you won’t even have to haggle with the guy at your local resale shop – the game is being released to both iOS and Android through the upcoming Square Enix marketplace.

Naturally, the game is being updated to accommodate the touch-screen controls of modern phones, and we’ll just have to wait and see how effectively the game can be adapted. Other Square Enix ports, such as Final Fantasy Tactics and Final Fantasy I-III, have been sort of acceptable but sort of not, with the controls mostly doing what you need but still feeling a touch sloppy.

There’s no release date for Chrono Trigger as of yet, all we know is that the game is targeted for release sometime in the next couple of months. The iPhone version is expected in December, with Android version to follow.

Are you ready to hang out with Crono again?
